Hurling
U-14 hurling:
We lost the county league semi-final last Sunday by three points. It brings to an end what has been a long but incredible year. This wonderful bunch of players have given everyone involved with the team so many magical moments. They became the first Roscommon Gaels team in 23 years to win the county U-14 title and came within seconds of an All-Ireland title at Feile. The players have been a credit to themselves, their families and the club. If they stick together and continue to practise the skills of the game they play so well, they will bring further glory to the Gaels in the years ahead. Thanks to all who helped out during the year, not least the PRO who always put in our notes!!!
